If you zoom in real close on the original image, it appears the steering wheel is on the proper side, but very hard to tell, but seems to be. Another thing, does the rear wheel seem back further than normal to anyone else? Seems pretty far back and kind of makes the car stretched out, long and low, kind of cool somehow.
It appears that everyone that said it was so cal was correct. I started pulling other photos out of the album and there was text on a lot of them. I looked up some of the street names mentioned and they are in Glendale. What I gather is that the guy (Robert Wainwright, Wisconsin Dells Wis.) who took the photos went to CA for school (curtiss-wright techical ins***ute?) he sent these pictures back to someone describing his time in sunny southern California. There were some other pics from what looks like the Army Aircore? It's kind of interesting, I have no connection to this famiy but the things he left behind in his garage kind of make my think about what my garage will be like when I'm gone. I'm attaching some more misc pics and a scan of the back of each one.
